Three articles and reviews in the September 2022 issue of Print Quarterly may be of interest to CODART members for their material relating to Dutch and Flemish artists and the wider activities of the region.
A major review from Jeroen Luyckx explores the entire De Jode dynasty, whose works have been catalogued by Marjolein Leesberg in ten volumes as part of The New Hollstein Dutch & Flemish series. This immense task included a total of 2,917 prints, separated according to each family member from Gerard (1516/17–1591) and Cornelis de Jode (1571–1600) to Arnold de Jode (1638–ca. 1669).
James Grantham Turner’s short article on the portraits of Baldassare Peruzzi mentions Gijsbert van Veen’s engraving The Marriage of Isaac and Rebecca (1599 or later) in relation to one of its source materials.
Inge Misschaert has contributed a brief analysis of the much-copied Map of the Battle of Waterloo (1815) by Belgian architect and engraver Pierre-Jacques Goetghebuer. The article elaborates on the production history of Goetghebuer’s map and its context alongside other adventurous competitors seeking to illustrate the famous battle in its immediate aftermath.
Finally, Martin Hopkinson has reviewed Noir & Blanc: La gravure belge et néerlandaise en Italie au début du XXe siècle, the proceedings of a conference held in 2018 in Rome at the Academia Belgica and the Koninklijk Nederlands Instituut. He notes that it offers ‘fine coverage of the salient features of the most important scholarly contributions over the last 30 years on Belgian and Dutch printmaking in Italy in the early twentieth century’ among other praiseworthy points of interest regarding this long overdue topic of discussion.
